Eggs on a bed of chili garlic potatoes

Working from home has its perks; no traveling, no waiting for bus, no fighting with auto rickshaw drivers and no pushing yourself through the nudging elbows and sweaty armpits in a crowded local. Another good part is cooking whenever and whatever you like, trying out new recipes which you hardly get time for. Anyway, I think that the grass is always greener on the other side. I am perfectly happy with my job and enjoy these one off working-from-home days.

Today was one of those days when I stayed home, woke up late and made a nice brunch. Result was two very happy and well fed human beings. For eggs on a bed of chili garlic potatoes, I got inspired from this recipe on www.foodnetwork.com. The original recipe had zucchini which I replaced with potatoes. I used McCain's chili garlic potato bites for this recipe but you can make it with diced potatoes, garlic and chili flakes.


Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients:
Eggs - 2
Onion - 1 medium (chopped)
Potato - 1 large (diced)
Carrot - 1 small (diced)
Bell pepper - 1 small (diced)
Pickled gherkin - 1 (chopped)
Garlic - 2 cloves (crushed)
Chili flakes - 1/2 tsp
Oregano - 1/2 tsp
Black pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
Coriander - 1 tbsp (chopped)
Salt to taste
Olive oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

  • Heat oil in a pan and throw in onions for frying.
  • Add minced garlic, potatoes and carrots and fry till they are almost cooked.
  • Add bell pepper, gherkin, chili flakes, oregano, coriander, black pepper powder and salt and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Bring the whole mixture to the centre of the pan and make two depressions in the mix using a ladle. 
  • Now break both the eggs in these depressions, cover and let them cook on slow flame.
  • Once the yolk is cooked, remove from the pan and serve with toasted breads.
